Status information

Security

On the Security screen in the Status menu you will see information about possible security risks for your device and your network. You will achieve maximum security for the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 by eliminating all the listed security risks.

uSystem password not changed

Your device's configuration program is not effectively protected against unauthor- ised access, as you have either not changed the password since setting the device up or you have not assigned any password at all. The section entitled "System Pass- word" on page 66 describes how to avoid this security risk.

uIdentification of your wireless network visible or not changed

Your wireless network will also be easy for unauthorised users to find as you have not changed the ID of your wireless network (SSID) since setup, and you have not deactivated the SSID broadcast. The section entitled "Setting wireless security" on page 55 describes how to avoid this security risk.

uEncryption for your wireless network not activated

None of the data in your wireless network is encrypted when transmitted and can therefore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised users can also easily access your net- work, your PCs and your Internet connection by this means. The section entitled "Setting wireless security" on page 55 describes how to avoid this security risk.

uAccess to your wireless network not restricted to allowed clients This is only displayed in access point and repeater operating modes.

Users can access your wireless network from any PC. The section entitled "Permitted clients" on page 61 describes how to avoid this security risk.
